SLIP INTO SILK

Wednesday, April 5, 2017

When I picked this outfit, my photographer brought me to the Walt Disney Concert Hall to pair the walls with this monochrome look. Prior to this shoot, I had never been to the Walt Disney Concert Hall. It made me realize that I really do not go out to explore new places, visit museums, try new restaurants, and things of that sort as much as I used to or as much as I would like to. I believe that the pursuit of maintaining this blog will help me slip out of my comfort zone. It also makes for a great way to document my changes in style, writing, and the ongoings of my life. Is it lame to talk about my blog on my blog? *shrugs*

Anyways, I just really wanted to say.. the best part about trying out new things? Making new friends along the way (refer to picture below).

Did this just get weird? I diverge. I suppose now we are off to see the outfit deets!

Although I may try to wear color once in a while, I always gravitate towards clothing in shades of black. I think black is just a shade in the spectrum that is incredibly easy to wear, especially if your style is a little edgier. As much as I love bohemian and more feminine styles, I just never reach for fluttery blouses or basically any outfits that require me to wear something that grazes too close to my skin.

I love this particular outfit because of how comfortable it is to wear. The crop top is loose, the pants are loose, and I just really appreciate outfits that allow me to eat more than half of my hamburger.

We have a silk crop top from Kendall and Kylie with a loose pair of black bottoms I picked up a year or two ago from Paige. I paired this outfit with one of my favorite belts that are similar to the very popular belts designed by B-Low the Belt (scored this in Thailand for $7USD!). The belt is a little bit too big for me so I definitely need to go get it sized so that it fits me properly. But in the meantime, I really enjoy putting it over loose bottoms and letting it just sit a little below my waist. Finally, I have on one of my most worn heels to match from Dolce Vita.

In addition, although I am quite sure most people know already know this - for those of you that do not - when pairing a lot of black pieces together, a good trick is to mix it up with different textures so that you do not look like you're wearing a giant onesie (although I am most definitely pro-onesies).

Fun fact: I once wore a nude fisherman's knit sweater and beige pants to match for a whole day. I went to school in basically nude colored attire, followed up school with a social event with my sisterhood in high school, and did not even realize how closely my outfit made me resemble one of those 90s neon hair colored troll dolls in the nude until I posted up the pictures from the event onto my Facebook. Talk about fashion faux-pas!
